- My understanding is that “creation” was pretty much like the Qur’an describes it. How is that? Like this: ““Be, and it is” (Arabic: كُن فَيَكُونُ; kun fa-yakūn) is a Quranic phrase referring to the creation by God′s command.[1][2] In Arabic, the phrase consists of two words; the first word is kun for the imperative verb “be” and is spelled with the letters kāf and nūn. The second word fa-yakun means “it is [done]”.[3]
- Neither “100% natural occurrence” nor any “forming” going on.

From my understanding, they thought spontaneous generation was a natural occurrence, as much as anything else was a natural occurrence.
I have heard people complain about Christians adopting Greek concepts through the ages, which is fair. However, no one from the people in the pews to the most prominent theologians saw conflict between those Greek concepts and the Christian theology, so I’m not sure what to make of it. Nonetheless, I suspect the current animus against concepts like abiogenesis probably has more to do with the larger conflict between faith and science than it is about the merit of the concept itself.
